How to Install ReShade in WRC

Ever thought about leveling up your WRC visuals? Enter ReShade! It’s like putting on a pair of HD glasses for your game. It refines and optimizes those Unreal Engine 4 graphics to make them pop! Ready for a jaw-dropping experience?

But, hold on a sec! Heard about any restrictions from Electronic Arts (EA) on ReShade? Just a heads-up to stay in the loop with EA’s rules, alright?

Now, you might think, “Will this slow down my game?” A bit, but not too much. Based on my own play on an RTX4090 at 4800×2000 resolution, the change is pretty small. Worth it? Totally!

How to Install ReShade for WRC?

1. First up, head over to the ReShade website: https://reshade.me/. Grab the latest version.
2. Got the download? Great! Run that ‘ReShade_Setup_5.X.X.exe’ and let’s get it set up.
3. Stuck? Relax, we’ve got you. Here’s how:
   1. In the setup, pick WRC and go with the DirectX 11 version.

There you go! You’re now all set to enjoy WRC like never before.
